Word up!
Sooooo, lol, as usual for me, after surgery I went a bit mental. I was going to delete FB altogether and went through and slowly deleted people. Then Lisa told me if you delete your FB account ALL the posts you made in groups go away and since I had a complex rare journey she would prefer it if I left my account up.
I changed my name on fb to something ridiculous that I kinda regret now, but I'm a tad impulsive at times lol.
I've been working full time now for nearly 2 months. It's stressful and awesome all at the same time.
Surgery went well, Dr K removed 17+ inches of my sigmoid colon as it was twisted, obstructed and full of diverticulitis. Thus why I was ALWAYS bloated. I healed amazingly after the surgery, it's kinda unreal. I was out shopping a couple of days after lol.
He fixed a severe hiatal hernia that was causing all the acid reflux and puking.
He said my ovaries are covered in cysts and probably is why I struggle with hormone regulation.
Weight wise, I still struggle and bounce around between 270 and 280, but without the bloat I am back to down to a size 18/20. I begged and pleaded with Dr K to redo me but he gave me some lecture about not being so hard on myself and to be considered a successful DSer I would be 315lbs. Basically, stop my boohooing and enjoy the life I have worked hard for. He stressed that health/nutrition after a DS is more important than being thin and because I am below the successful for my start weight, weight, he didn't want to redo anything.
Prof does his DS a bit different and goes THROUGH the mesentery so Dr K wasn't even able to measure anything or check.
I'm over it. It is what it is. I am not bloated up to a size 24/26 AND I can poop. OMG I love being able to poop. Seriously. I was constipated since like 6 months post op....so this is a godsend!
Life is really, really good and if you want, I can re-add you on FB...some have found me through Mike and re-added me because they know I'm an impulsive moody bitch
